Iran is trying to destabilize Iraq and its neighbors, former Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi said on CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS” program.

Allawi, a secular Shiite whose political party won the largest bloc in March 7 elections, said Iraq’s stalled political process and its faltering economy are breeding extremism, according to a transcript of the program, scheduled to be broadcast today.
